The Morsel of Bread – v2

What must he have felt, sharing in the meal

knowing what he knew, what he had done

but not all of what would unfold

the invocation, the intoning of these words

these words of the teacher, the master, Rabbi

changing the ancient words of remembrance

saying something entirely new, a new covenant

the morsel of bread dipped, shared from His hands

his words to go, to do that which is planned quickly

what must he have thought, in that moment

the doubt, the confusion, steps set in motion

unable to return, to pull back

the wheels of time turning

His body, His blood

His sacrifice, wet

dripping on his hands
